I don’t know how long it took before the city full of swords dissipated.
A demon royal city became deathly silent.
The army was outside the city, a little quiet.
Li Changling looked at Gao Xuan, and Gao Xuan looked at Xie Nandu.
If Xie Nandu gave the order at this moment, they would enter the city immediately.
Create the glory that belongs to Daliang.
Li Changling has begun to regret that he did not bring a historian with him during the Northern Expedition. What if there are any differences in the oral accounts later, causing problems in the historian's records?
Gao Xuan had more to think about. His eyes had already passed this royal city and looked further north, to the north of the demon clan's royal city and the demon sea. To the north of the demon sea, it was said that there was a dead land.
Daliang's army has to go further north.
Xie Nandu stood in front of the army, looking at the Demon Clan's royal city, wondering what he was thinking.
I don’t know how long it took, but the gate of the Demon King’s City in the distance slowly opened.
A young man in a black shirt came out.
His face was a little pale, but his clothes were very new, obviously he had just changed them.
The soldiers looked at this young man without saying a word. In their eyes, there was only the highest respect. No one did not admire this governor of the Liang Dynasty.
Yu Xiyi stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Didn't that witch cut off anything important on your body?"
Chen Chao twitched his lips and was too lazy to pay attention to this guy.
Yun Jianyue said softly: "It looks like a hard battle."
Chen Chao nodded.
After saying these two sentences, both of them looked at Chen Chao. In fact, it was not just the two of them, but everyone, waiting for an answer.
Is Xilu dead or not?
Chen Chao did not give that answer. He just said: "I am afraid that a new tenth state of Daliang will be established in the north of Mobei, but I am afraid that few people will be willing to live here."
The Demon Realm has always been bitterly cold, and the winter is too long, making it not suitable for human habitation. It is indeed difficult for the people to go north.
"But after all, it's land that was conquered."
Chen Chao felt a little emotional.
Then he looked at Xie Nandu and said, "Enter the city."
Xie Nandu didn't ask any more questions, just waved his hand.
So the army entered the city.
When the first soldier entered this demon king's city, a new chapter in the history of the human race was truly reached at this moment.
…
…
The demon clan people in the demon clan king's city had already fled at large. This time they entered the city and met almost no demon clan people.
On the other side of the Monster Clan Palace, the main hall has long been broken. A palace with seven or eight buildings have long been in ruins. The dragon from the Chen Dynasty walked through the royal city before. Before returning, in those places and the Western Continent
There was a fierce battle with sword energy, and this was the final outcome.
The palace behind the sycamore tree was intact. I don't know whether it was because of its remote location or because neither party was willing to destroy it intentionally.
Anyway, this place is intact.
It's just a sycamore tree with a lot of fallen leaves.
This also left the tree without many leaves, making it look extremely miserable.
Beside the plane tree and in front of the palace threshold, there was a woman standing here quietly at this moment, listening to the footsteps and the sound of horse hooves in the distance, she said nothing.
She just raised her head and looked at the sycamore tree, looking at the few leaves that were still falling.
In life, it is actually difficult to say what is a worthwhile journey. Should we make great achievements, or should we just spend our life indifferently?
Whether Xilu's life has been a worthwhile trip, I am afraid only she knows this question.
She just looked at the sycamore tree and the falling leaves, very quiet, as if everything happening outside was none of her business now.
There are not many things you can manage in your life.
The leaves of the sycamore trees continue to fall, and the leaves of a tree can no longer be seen in an instant.
The last fallen leaf also fell from the treetops at this moment, moving with the wind and falling slowly.
Xi Lu walked two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and waited for the fallen leaf to fall into his palm.
She raised her head, her eyes full of expectation. At this moment, she seemed to have returned many years ago, when she was a child, eagerly waiting for her mother to pick a sycamore leaf for her.
But now, time has passed, and looking at the last sycamore leaf on this sycamore tree, she seems to have returned to that quiet summer many years ago, when there were not so many things to think about and not so many things to do.
No worries, no worries.
The sycamore leaves slowly fell, and finally landed in Xilu's palm.
There were ripples, like fallen leaves falling into the water.
But the next moment, the fallen leaf still fell towards the ground.
What about Xilu?
The smoke disappeared.
…
…
Xie Nandu and Chen Chao climbed to the top of the royal city and looked to the north.
Xie Nandu said: "Compared to the capital of the gods, it can indeed be described as shabby. Those who have built a tall city still need to build a tall Great Wall to protect those who are not tall."
Chen Chao said: "This is the same as the concept of cultivation. Don't rely on external things, just look at yourself. No matter how high the city wall is, it is better to have a few more powerful people like the Demon Emperor."
"The scolding was so filthy."
Xie Nandu rolled his eyes at Chen Chao, "How many remnants are there in the north?"
Chen Chao thought for a moment and clicked his tongue: "You are a general, why do you come to ask me, a small guardian envoy, such a thing?"
Xie Nandu smiled and said nothing.
A small guardian envoy? Probably only Chen Chao himself can say this.
However, after taking a look at Xie Nandu, Chen Chao immediately became serious, "There are some in the Demon Sea. They originally planned to go south, but they only walked halfway and knew that the situation was over, so they retreated. But apart from them, further north, we should
There are no living people left.”
"No ordinary soldier can step into that dead land."
Chen Chao took a breath and said, "But I will go there with Yu Xiyi and the others to make sure there are no monsters hiding inside."
These words were cold and cruel, but they were indeed what he could say.
"After that, we will establish an outpost to the north of the Demonic Sea and let powerful monks stay here permanently."
Chen Chao calmly sighed: "Slowly let the people come to live in the north, and then this territory will slowly and truly integrate into us."
Xie Nandu said: "Are you afraid that you have never been able to completely destroy the demon clan, leaving behind a seed that will become a prairie fire one day in the future?"
Chen Chao said: "It is much better than leaving the demon clan behind. It is very difficult for a seed to grow into a towering tree."
"If it is true, then it is fate."
Chen Chao took a deep breath and said calmly: "I can't live forever."
Xie Nandu stopped talking.
Chen Chao also fell silent.
After a long time, he whispered: "Xi Lu is dead."
Xie Nandu thought for a while and said: "When we were in Mobei, I talked a lot with her, and we can almost be regarded as friends."
Chen Chao said nothing.
Regardless of whether he is willing to kill Xilu or not, there is one thing we all know.
The Western Continent will not die, and the demon clan will not be destroyed.
